Reade has also been involved in various lawsuits, bankruptcies, and domestic violence cases, both as a plaintiff and a defendant. In 2023, Reade defected to Russia, where she sought citizenship and befriended a suspected Kremlin spy.

Tara Reade Wiki/Bio

Early Life and Family

Tara Reade was born on February 26, 1964, in Monterey County, California, to Jeanette Altimus and Robert Moulton. She has a younger brother named Collin Moulton. When she was three months old, her family moved out of California and settled in Wisconsin, where she spent most of her childhood. Reade attended local schools and participated in sports like skiing. She also developed an interest in politics and activism from a young age, as her mother was involved in the anti-war and civil rights movements.

Reade’s parents divorced when she was a teenager, and she moved with her mother and brother to Athens, Georgia. There, she graduated from Cedar Shoals High School in 1982. She then moved back to California, where she pursued modeling and acting. She appeared in several commercials and TV shows, including The Young and the Restless and Santa Barbara. She also claimed to have worked as a legislative aide for California State Senator Art Torres, but this was later disputed by Torres himself.

Education

Reade enrolled at Pasadena City College, where she studied political science. She also worked as a congressional intern for U.S. Representative Leon Panetta in 1992. She then moved to Washington, D.C., where she landed a job as a staff assistant for U.S. Senator Joe Biden, who was then the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Reade worked for Biden from December 1992 to August 1993, during which time she alleged that he sexually assaulted her in a Capitol Hill office building.

Reade left Biden’s office and returned to California, where she worked as a staff assistant for California State Senator Jack O’Connell. She also claimed to have graduated from Antioch University with a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts, but this was later proven to be false. Reade never completed her degree at Antioch, and she only attended the university for a few semesters.

Reade then moved to Seattle, where she attended the Seattle University School of Law. She graduated in 2004 and passed the Washington State Bar exam. She also changed her name to Alexandra McCabe, after her maternal grandmother. She worked as a domestic violence advocate and a victim rights attorney in Washington and California. She also volunteered for various nonprofit organizations and political campaigns, including those of Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders.

Husband and Kids

Reade married Theodore Dronen, a fellow law student, in the early 1990s. They met at Pasadena City College and moved together to Washington, D.C., where Dronen also worked as a congressional staffer.

Their marriage was tumultuous and abusive, according to Reade, who said that Dronen physically and emotionally assaulted her on several occasions. She also accused him of stealing her car and draining her bank account. Reade filed for divorce from Dronen in 1996, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in 1997.

Reade never remarried and did not have any children. She dated a few men after her divorce, but none of the relationships lasted long. She also claimed to have been engaged to a man named Mark, who died of cancer in 2016, but this was later questioned by some of her acquaintances, who said that they never met or heard of Mark.

Net Worth

Tara Reade’s net worth is unknown, as she has not disclosed her income or assets publicly. She has worked in various fields, including law, advocacy, education, and media, but she has also faced financial difficulties and legal troubles throughout her life. She filed for bankruptcy twice, in 1998 and 2012, owing thousands of dollars to various creditors, including medical providers, educational institutions, and government agencies.

She also sued and was sued by several employers, landlords, and former partners, over issues such as discrimination, harassment, defamation, and breach of contract. She has received donations from supporters and sympathizers, but she has also been accused of misusing the funds for personal expenses.

Physical Appearance

Allegations Against Joe Biden

Tara Reade first came forward with allegations against Joe Biden in April 2019, when she was one of eight women who accused him of inappropriate touching and making them feel uncomfortable. Reade said that Biden had complimented her legs and asked her to serve drinks at a Senate event, which she felt was demeaning. She also said that she had filed a complaint with the Senate personnel office in 1993, in which she reported that Biden had made her feel uncomfortable, but she did not mention any sexual assault. She said that she was later demoted and fired from Biden’s office, as a retaliation for her complaint.

Reade’s allegations received little attention at the time, as Biden was not yet a presidential candidate and the accusations were relatively mild compared to those of other women. Reade also expressed support for Biden’s candidacy and said that she still respected him as a leader. She said that she only wanted him to acknowledge his behavior and apologize to the women he had affected.

However, in March 2020, Reade changed her story and accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993, when she was working as a staff assistant in his Senate office. She said that Biden had cornered her in a secluded area of a Capitol Hill office building, pushed her against a wall, kissed her, and penetrated her with his fingers, without her consent. She said that she had resisted him and told him to stop, but he
